Boil over for the Bennett family, Little Valley Brafords

Claiming the supreme champion exhibit was Little Valley Lady Brie, who earlier claimed the senior and grand champion female award. 

Exhibited with a handsome bull calf at foot, Little Valley Lady Brie is by the Queensland bred Taroela Lawson. 

The Bennetts bought Taroela Lawson, offered by noted Braford breeder Warren Wilson, Taroela Brafords, Mitchell, at the 2005 National Braford Sale.

LIttle Valley Lady Brie was also the senior and grand champion female at the Braford Feature Show held at  the Roma show earlier this year.

Judge Chris Whitney, Pocupar Poll Herefords, Old Bonalbo, NSW praised his supreme exhibit.

“It really wasn’t an easy decision to select between a quality bull and this cow-and-calf package,” Mr Whitney said. 

“But in the end I went with the complete package, as she is a cow that I would love to have in my paddock. 

Continuing the winning streak was Little Valley Gilbert, who claimed the senior and grand championship bullribbon.

Tipping the scales at 1040kg Little Valley Gilbert, is also a son of Taroela Lawson.

Little Valley Gilbert will be offered at the National Braford sale, Gracemere in September. 

Junior champion bull was Little Valley Hodges, who is a full brother to the Supreme champion exhibit.

The junior champion female was the very feminine Black Limousin Oakvale Lena Magic heifer exhibited by Georgia Perkins.

Oakvale Lena Magic was bought at the Dubbo Limousin National sale by Georgia’s father, Darren Perkins, George and Fuhrmann, Casino. 

“We bought her because Georgia is interested in showing stud cattle, and we will use Oakvale Lena Magic to breed steers for led steer competitions,” Mr Perkins said.
